4799401fef memcg: Fix race condition in memcg_check_events() with this_cpu usage
Various code in memcontrol.c () calls this_cpu_read() on the calculations
to be done from two different percpu variables, or does an open-coded
read-modify-write on a single percpu variable.

Disable preemption throughout these operations so that the writes go to

a61ed3cec5 memcg: close race between charge and putback
There is a potential race between a thread charging a page and another
thread putting it back to the LRU list:

  charge:                         putback:
  SetPageCgroupUsed               SetPageLRU
  PageLRU && add to memcg LRU     PageCgroupUsed && add to memcg LRU

The order of setting one flag and checking the other is crucial, otherwise
the charge may observe !PageLRU while the putback observes !PageCgroupUsed
and the page is not linked to the memcg LRU at all.

Global memory pressure may fix this by trying to isolate and putback the
page for reclaim, where that putback would link it to the memcg LRU again.
 Without that, the memory cgroup is undeletable due to a charge whose
physical page can not be found and moved out.

9b272977e3 memcg: skip scanning active lists based on individual size
Reclaim decides to skip scanning an active list when the corresponding
inactive list is above a certain size in comparison to leave the assumed
working set alone while there are still enough reclaim candidates around.

The memcg implementation of comparing those lists instead reports whether
the whole memcg is low on the requested type of inactive pages,
considering all nodes and zones.

This can lead to an oversized active list not being scanned because of the
state of the other lists in the memcg, as well as an active list being
scanned while its corresponding inactive list has enough pages.

Not only is this wrong, it's also a scalability hazard, because the global
memory state over all nodes and zones has to be gathered for each memcg
and zone scanned.

Make these calculations purely based on the size of the two LRU lists
that are actually affected by the outcome of the decision.

4356f21d09 mm: change isolate mode from #define to bitwise type
Change ISOLATE_XXX macro with bitwise isolate_mode_t type.  Normally,
macro isn't recommended as it's type-unsafe and making debugging harder as
symbol cannot be passed throught to the debugger.

Quote from Johannes
" Hmm, it would probably be cleaner to fully convert the isolation mode
into independent flags.  INACTIVE, ACTIVE, BOTH is currently a
tri-state among flags, which is a bit ugly."

This patch moves isolate mode from swap.h to mmzone.h by memcontrol.h

185efc0f9a memcg: Revert "memcg: add memory.vmscan_stat"
Revert the post-3.0 commit 82f9d486e5 ("memcg: add
memory.vmscan_stat").

The implementation of per-memcg reclaim statistics violates how memcg
hierarchies usually behave: hierarchically.

The reclaim statistics are accounted to child memcgs and the parent
hitting the limit, but not to hierarchy levels in between.  Usually,
hierarchical statistics are perfectly recursive, with each level
representing the sum of itself and all its children.

Since this exports statistics to userspace, this may lead to confusion
and problems with changing things after the release, so revert it now,
we can try again later.

23751be009 memcg: fix hierarchical oom locking
Commit 79dfdaccd1 ("memcg: make oom_lock 0 and 1 based rather than
counter") tried to oom lock the hierarchy and roll back upon
encountering an already locked memcg.

The code is confused when it comes to detecting a locked memcg, though,
so it would fail and rollback after locking one memcg and encountering
an unlocked second one.

The result is that oom-locking hierarchies fails unconditionally and
that every oom killer invocation simply goes to sleep on the oom
waitqueue forever.  The tasks practically hang forever without anyone
intervening, possibly holding locks that trip up unrelated tasks, too.

5af12d0efd memcg: pin execution to current cpu while draining stock
Commit d1a05b6973 ("memcg do not try to drain per-cpu caches without
pages") added a drain_local_stock() call to a preemptible section.

The draining task looks up the cpu-local stock twice to set the
draining-flag, then to drain the stock and clear the flag again.  If the
task is migrated to a different CPU in between, noone will clear the
flag on the first stock and it will be forever undrainable.  Its charge
can not be recovered and the cgroup can not be deleted anymore.

Properly pin the task to the executing CPU while draining stocks.

9f50fad65b Revert "memcg: get rid of percpu_charge_mutex lock"
This reverts commit 8521fc50d4.

The patch incorrectly assumes that using atomic FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE
bit operations is sufficient but that is not true.  Johannes Weiner has
reported a crash during parallel memory cgroup removal:

We are crashing because we try to dereference cached memcg when we are
checking whether we should wait for draining on the cache.  The cache is
already cleaned up, though.

There is also a theoretical chance that the cached memcg gets freed
between we test for the FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE and dereference it in
mem_cgroup_same_or_subtree:

        CPU0                    CPU1                         CPU2
  mem=stock->cached

                              clear_bit
                                                        test_and_set_bit
  test_bit()                    ...
  <preempted>             mem_cgroup_destroy
  use after free

The percpu_charge_mutex protected from this race because sync draining
is exclusive.

It is safer to revert now and come up with a more parallel
implementation later.

aa3b189551 tmpfs: convert mem_cgroup shmem to radix-swap
Remove mem_cgroup_shmem_charge_fallback(): it was only required when we
had to move swappage to filecache with GFP_NOWAIT.

Remove the GFP_NOWAIT special case from mem_cgroup_cache_charge(), by
moving its call out from shmem_add_to_page_cache() to two of thats three
callers.  But leave it doing mem_cgroup_uncharge_cache_page() on error:
although asymmetrical, it's easier for all 3 callers to handle.

These two changes would also be appropriate if anyone were to start
using shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp() with GFP_NOWAIT.

Remove mem_cgroup_get_shmem_target(): mc_handle_file_pte() can test
radix_tree_exceptional_entry() to get what it needs for itself.

8521fc50d4 memcg: get rid of percpu_charge_mutex lock
percpu_charge_mutex protects from multiple simultaneous per-cpu charge
caches draining because we might end up having too many work items.  At
least this was the case until commit 26fe616844 ("memcg: fix percpu
cached charge draining frequency") when we introduced a more targeted
draining for async mode.

Now that also sync draining is targeted we can safely remove mutex
because we will not send more work than the current number of CPUs.
FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE protects from sending the same work multiple
times and stock->nr_pages == 0 protects from pointless sending a work if
there is obviously nothing to be done.  This is of course racy but we
can live with it as the race window is really small (we would have to
see FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE cleared while nr_pages would be still
non-zero).

The only remaining place where we can race is synchronous mode when we
rely on FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE test which might have been set by other
drainer on the same group but we should wait in that case as well.

d38144b7a5 memcg: unify sync and async per-cpu charge cache draining
Currently we have two ways how to drain per-CPU caches for charges.
drain_all_stock_sync will synchronously drain all caches while
drain_all_stock_async will asynchronously drain only those that refer to
a given memory cgroup or its subtree in hierarchy.  Targeted async
draining has been introduced by 26fe6168 (memcg: fix percpu cached
charge draining frequency) to reduce the cpu workers number.

sync draining is currently triggered only from mem_cgroup_force_empty
which is triggered only by userspace (mem_cgroup_force_empty_write) or
when a cgroup is removed (mem_cgroup_pre_destroy).  Although these are
not usually frequent operations it still makes some sense to do targeted
draining as well, especially if the box has many CPUs.

This patch unifies both methods to use the single code (drain_all_stock)
which relies on the original async implementation and just adds
flush_work to wait on all caches that are still under work for the sync
mode.  We are using FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE bit check to prevent from
waiting on a work that we haven't triggered.  Please note that both sync
and async functions are currently protected by percpu_charge_mutex so we
cannot race with other drainers.

d1a05b6973 memcg: do not try to drain per-cpu caches without pages
drain_all_stock_async tries to optimize a work to be done on the work
queue by excluding any work for the current CPU because it assumes that
the context we are called from already tried to charge from that cache
and it's failed so it must be empty already.

While the assumption is correct we can optimize it even more by checking
the current number of pages in the cache.  This will also reduce a work
on other CPUs with an empty stock.

For the current CPU we can simply call drain_local_stock rather than
deferring it to the work queue.

82f9d486e5 memcg: add memory.vmscan_stat
The commit log of 0ae5e89c60 ("memcg: count the soft_limit reclaim
in...") says it adds scanning stats to memory.stat file.  But it doesn't
because we considered we needed to make a concensus for such new APIs.

This patch is a trial to add memory.scan_stat. This shows
  - the number of scanned pages(total, anon, file)
  - the number of rotated pages(total, anon, file)
  - the number of freed pages(total, anon, file)
  - the number of elaplsed time (including sleep/pause time)

  for both of direct/soft reclaim.

The biggest difference with oringinal Ying's one is that this file
can be reset by some write, as

  # echo 0 ...../memory.scan_stat

Example of output is here. This is a result after make -j 6 kernel
under 300M limit.

This will be useful for further memcg developments and need to be

management.

This patch adds a new struct memcg_scanrecord into scan_control struct.
sc->nr_scanned at el is not designed for exporting information.  For
example, nr_scanned is reset frequentrly and incremented +2 at scanning
mapped pages.

To avoid complexity, I added a new param in scan_control which is for
exporting scanning score.

108b6a7846 memcg: fix behavior of mem_cgroup_resize_limit()
Commit 22a668d7c3 ("memcg: fix behavior under memory.limit equals to
memsw.limit") introduced "memsw_is_minimum" flag, which becomes true
when mem_limit == memsw_limit.  The flag is checked at the beginning of
reclaim, and "noswap" is set if the flag is true, because using swap is
meaningless in this case.

This works well in most cases, but when we try to shrink mem_limit,
which is the same as memsw_limit now, we might fail to shrink mem_limit
because swap doesn't used.

This patch fixes this behavior by:
 - check MEM_CGROUP_RECLAIM_SHRINK at the begining of reclaim
 - If it is set, don't set "noswap" flag even if memsw_is_minimum is true.

1af8efe965 memcg: change memcg_oom_mutex to spinlock
memcg_oom_mutex is used to protect memcg OOM path and eventfd interface
for oom_control.  None of the critical sections which it protects sleep
(eventfd_signal works from atomic context and the rest are simple linked
list resp.  oom_lock atomic operations).

Mutex is also too heavyweight for those code paths because it triggers a
lot of scheduling.  It also makes makes convoying effects more visible
when we have a big number of oom killing because we take the lock
mutliple times during mem_cgroup_handle_oom so we have multiple places
where many processes can sleep.

79dfdaccd1 memcg: make oom_lock 0 and 1 based rather than counter
Commit 867578cb ("memcg: fix oom kill behavior") introduced a oom_lock
counter which is incremented by mem_cgroup_oom_lock when we are about to
handle memcg OOM situation.  mem_cgroup_handle_oom falls back to a sleep
if oom_lock > 1 to prevent from multiple oom kills at the same time.
The counter is then decremented by mem_cgroup_oom_unlock called from the
same function.

This works correctly but it can lead to serious starvations when we have
many processes triggering OOM and many CPUs available for them (I have
tested with 16 CPUs).

Consider a process (call it A) which gets the oom_lock (the first one
that got to mem_cgroup_handle_oom and grabbed memcg_oom_mutex) and other
processes that are blocked on the mutex.  While A releases the mutex and
calls mem_cgroup_out_of_memory others will wake up (one after another)
and increase the counter and fall into sleep (memcg_oom_waitq).

Once A finishes mem_cgroup_out_of_memory it takes the mutex again and
decreases oom_lock and wakes other tasks (if releasing memory by
somebody else - e.g.  killed process - hasn't done it yet).

A testcase would look like:
  Assume malloc XXX is a program allocating XXX Megabytes of memory
  which touches all allocated pages in a tight loop
  # swapoff SWAP_DEVICE
  # cgcreate -g memory:A
  # cgset -r memory.oom_control=0   A
  # cgset -r memory.limit_in_bytes= 200M
  # for i in `seq 100`
  # do
  #     cgexec -g memory:A   malloc 10 &
  # done

The main problem here is that all processes still race for the mutex and
there is no guarantee that we will get counter back to 0 for those that
got back to mem_cgroup_handle_oom.  In the end the whole convoy
in/decreases the counter but we do not get to 1 that would enable
killing so nothing useful can be done.  The time is basically unbounded
because it highly depends on scheduling and ordering on mutex (I have
seen this taking hours...).

This patch replaces the counter by a simple {un}lock semantic.  As
mem_cgroup_oom_{un}lock works on the a subtree of a hierarchy we have to
make sure that nobody else races with us which is guaranteed by the
memcg_oom_mutex.

We have to be careful while locking subtrees because we can encounter a
subtree which is already locked: hierarchy:

          A
        /   \
       B     \
      /\      \
     C  D     E

B - C - D tree might be already locked.  While we want to enable locking
E subtree because OOM situations cannot influence each other we
definitely do not want to allow locking A.

Therefore we have to refuse lock if any subtree is already locked and
clear up the lock for all nodes that have been set up to the failure
point.

On the other hand we have to make sure that the rest of the world will
recognize that a group is under OOM even though it doesn't have a lock.
Therefore we have to introduce under_oom variable which is incremented
and decremented for the whole subtree when we enter resp.  leave
mem_cgroup_handle_oom.  under_oom, unlike oom_lock, doesn't need be
updated under memcg_oom_mutex because its users only check a single
group and they use atomic operations for that.

This can be checked easily by the following test case:

  # cgcreate -g memory:A
  # cgset -r memory.use_hierarchy=1 A
  # cgset -r memory.oom_control=1   A
  # cgset -r memory.limit_in_bytes= 100M
  # cgset -r memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes= 100M
  # cgcreate -g memory:A/B
  # cgset -r memory.oom_control=1 A/B
  # cgset -r memory.limit_in_bytes=20M
  # cgset -r memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes=20M
  # cgexec -g memory:A/B malloc 30  &    #->this will be blocked by OOM of group B
  # cgexec -g memory:A   malloc 80  &    #->this will be blocked by OOM of group A

While B gets oom_lock A will not get it.  Both of them go into sleep and
wait for an external action.  We can make the limit higher for A to
enforce waking it up

  # cgset -r memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes=300M A
  # cgset -r memory.limit_in_bytes=300M A

malloc in A has to wake up even though it doesn't have oom_lock.

Finally, the unlock path is very easy because we always unlock only the
subtree we have locked previously while we always decrement under_oom.

bb2a0de92c memcg: consolidate memory cgroup lru stat functions
In mm/memcontrol.c, there are many lru stat functions as..

  mem_cgroup_zone_nr_lru_pages
  mem_cgroup_node_nr_file_lru_pages
  mem_cgroup_nr_file_lru_pages
  mem_cgroup_node_nr_anon_lru_pages
  mem_cgroup_nr_anon_lru_pages
  mem_cgroup_node_nr_unevictable_lru_pages
  mem_cgroup_nr_unevictable_lru_pages
  mem_cgroup_node_nr_lru_pages
  mem_cgroup_nr_lru_pages
  mem_cgroup_get_local_zonestat

Some of them are under #ifdef MAX_NUMNODES >1 and others are not.
This seems bad. This patch consolidates all functions into

  mem_cgroup_zone_nr_lru_pages()
  mem_cgroup_node_nr_lru_pages()
  mem_cgroup_nr_lru_pages()

For these functions, "which LRU?" information is passed by a mask.

example:
  mem_cgroup_nr_lru_pages(mem, BIT(LRU_ACTIVE_ANON))

And I added some macro as ALL_LRU, ALL_LRU_FILE, ALL_LRU_ANON.

example:
  mem_cgroup_nr_lru_pages(mem, ALL_LRU)

BTW, considering layout of NUMA memory placement of counters, this patch seems
to be better.

Now, when we gather all LRU information, we scan in following orer
    for_each_lru -> for_each_node -> for_each_zone.

This means we'll touch cache lines in different node in turn.

After patch, we'll scan
    for_each_node -> for_each_zone -> for_each_lru(mask)

Then, we'll gather information in the same cacheline at once.

1f4c025b5a memcg: export memory cgroup's swappiness with mem_cgroup_swappiness()
Each memory cgroup has a 'swappiness' value which can be accessed by
get_swappiness(memcg).  The major user is try_to_free_mem_cgroup_pages()
and swappiness is passed by argument.  It's propagated by scan_control.

get_swappiness() is a static function but some planned updates will need
to get swappiness from files other than memcontrol.c This patch exports
get_swappiness() as mem_cgroup_swappiness().  With this, we can remove the
argument of swapiness from try_to_free...  and drop swappiness from
scan_control.  only memcg uses it.

4d0c066d29 memcg: fix reclaimable lru check in memcg
Now, in mem_cgroup_hierarchical_reclaim(), mem_cgroup_local_usage() is
used for checking whether the memcg contains reclaimable pages or not.  If
no pages in it, the routine skips it.

But, mem_cgroup_local_usage() contains Unevictable pages and cannot handle
"noswap" condition correctly.  This doesn't work on a swapless system.

This patch adds test_mem_cgroup_reclaimable() and replaces
mem_cgroup_local_usage().  test_mem_cgroup_reclaimable() see LRU counter
and returns correct answer to the caller.  And this new function has
"noswap" argument and can see only FILE LRU if necessary.

fbc29a25e4 memcg: avoid percpu cached charge draining at softlimit
Based on Michal Hocko's comment.

We are not draining per cpu cached charges during soft limit reclaim
because background reclaim doesn't care about charges.  It tries to free
some memory and charges will not give any.

Cached charges might influence only selection of the biggest soft limit
offender but as the call is done only after the selection has been already
done it makes no change.

26fe616844 memcg: fix percpu cached charge draining frequency
For performance, memory cgroup caches some "charge" from res_counter into
per cpu cache.  This works well but because it's cache, it needs to be
flushed in some cases.  Typical cases are

   1. when someone hit limit.

   2. when rmdir() is called and need to charges to be 0.

But "1" has problem.

Recently, with large SMP machines, we see many kworker runs because of
flushing memcg's cache.  Bad things in implementation are that even if a
cpu contains a cache for memcg not related to a memcg which hits limit,
drain code is called.

This patch does
        A) check percpu cache contains a useful data or not.
        B) check other asynchronous percpu draining doesn't run.
        C) don't call local cpu callback.

(*)This patch avoid changing the calling condition with hard-limit.

When I run "cat 1Gfile > /dev/null" under 300M limit memcg,

Hierarchical reclaim doesn't swap out if memsw and resource limits are
thye same (memsw_is_minimum == true) because we would hit mem+swap limit
anyway (during hard limit reclaim).

If it comes to the soft limit we shouldn't consider memsw_is_minimum at
all because it doesn't make much sense.  Either the soft limit is bellow
the hard limit and then we cannot hit mem+swap limit or the direct reclaim
takes a precedence.

Currently, memcg reclaim can disable swap token even if the swap token mm
doesn't belong in its memory cgroup.  It's slightly risky.  If an admin
creates very small mem-cgroup and silly guy runs contentious heavy memory
pressure workload, every tasks are going to lose swap token and then
system may become unresponsive.  That's bad.

This patch adds 'memcg' parameter into disable_swap_token().  and if the
parameter doesn't match swap token, VM doesn't disable it.

456f998ec8 memcg: add the pagefault count into memcg stats
Two new stats in per-memcg memory.stat which tracks the number of page
faults and number of major page faults.

  "pgfault"
  "pgmajfault"

They are different from "pgpgin"/"pgpgout" stat which count number of
pages charged/discharged to the cgroup and have no meaning of reading/
writing page to disk.

It is valuable to track the two stats for both measuring application's
performance as well as the efficiency of the kernel page reclaim path.
Counting pagefaults per process is useful, but we also need the aggregated
value since processes are monitored and controlled in cgroup basis in
memcg.

Functional test: check the total number of pgfault/pgmajfault of all
memcgs and compare with global vmstat value:

  $ cat /proc/vmstat | grep fault
  pgfault 1070751
  pgmajfault 553

  $ cat /dev/cgroup/memory.stat | grep fault
  pgfault 1071138
  pgmajfault 553
  total_pgfault 1071142
  total_pgmajfault 553

  $ cat /dev/cgroup/A/memory.stat | grep fault
  pgfault 199
  pgmajfault 0
  total_pgfault 199
  total_pgmajfault 0

Performance test: run page fault test(pft) wit 16 thread on faulting in
15G anon pages in 16G container.  There is no regression noticed on the
"flt/cpu/s"

406eb0c9ba memcg: add memory.numastat api for numa statistics
The new API exports numa_maps per-memcg basis.  This is a piece of useful
information where it exports per-memcg page distribution across real numa
nodes.

One of the usecases is evaluating application performance by combining
this information w/ the cpu allocation to the application.

The output of the memory.numastat tries to follow w/ simiar format of
numa_maps like:

  total=<total pages> N0=<node 0 pages> N1=<node 1 pages> ...
  file=<total file pages> N0=<node 0 pages> N1=<node 1 pages> ...
  anon=<total anon pages> N0=<node 0 pages> N1=<node 1 pages> ...
  unevictable=<total anon pages> N0=<node 0 pages> N1=<node 1 pages> ...

And we have per-node:

  total = file + anon + unevictable

  $ cat /dev/cgroup/memory/memory.numa_stat
  total=250020 N0=87620 N1=52367 N2=45298 N3=64735
  file=225232 N0=83402 N1=46160 N2=40522 N3=55148
  anon=21053 N0=3424 N1=6207 N2=4776 N3=6646
  unevictable=3735 N0=794 N1=0 N2=0 N3=2941

1bac180bd2 memcg: rename mem_cgroup_zone_nr_pages() to mem_cgroup_zone_nr_lru_pages()
The caller of the function has been renamed to zone_nr_lru_pages(), and
this is just fixing up in the memcg code.  The current name is easily to

4fd14ebf6e memcg: remove unused retry signal from reclaim
If the memcg reclaim code detects the target memcg below its limit it
exits and returns a guaranteed non-zero value so that the charge is
retried.

Nowadays, the charge side checks the memcg limit itself and does not rely
on this non-zero return value trick.

This patch removes it.  The reclaim code will now always return the true
number of pages it reclaimed on its own.

889976dbcb memcg: reclaim memory from nodes in round-robin order
Presently, memory cgroup's direct reclaim frees memory from the current
node.  But this has some troubles.  Usually when a set of threads works in
a cooperative way, they tend to operate on the same node.  So if they hit
limits under memcg they will reclaim memory from themselves, damaging the
active working set.

For example, assume 2 node system which has Node 0 and Node 1 and a memcg
which has 1G limit.  After some work, file cache remains and the usages
are

   Node 0:  1M
   Node 1:  998M.

and run an application on Node 0, it will eat its foot before freeing
unnecessary file caches.

This patch adds round-robin for NUMA and adds equal pressure to each node.
When using cpuset's spread memory feature, this will work very well.

But yes, a better algorithm is needed.

39cc98f1f8 memcg: remove pointless next_mz nullification in mem_cgroup_soft_limit_reclaim()
next_mz is assigned to NULL if __mem_cgroup_largest_soft_limit_node
selects the same mz.  This doesn't make much sense as we assign to the
variable right in the next loop.

Compiler will probably optimize this out but it is little bit confusing
for the code reading.

0ae5e89c60 memcg: count the soft_limit reclaim in global background reclaim
The global kswapd scans per-zone LRU and reclaims pages regardless of the
cgroup. It breaks memory isolation since one cgroup can end up reclaiming
pages from another cgroup. Instead we should rely on memcg-aware target
reclaim including per-memcg kswapd and soft_limit hierarchical reclaim under
memory pressure.

In the global background reclaim, we do soft reclaim before scanning the
per-zone LRU. However, the return value is ignored. This patch is the first
step to skip shrink_zone() if soft_limit reclaim does enough work.

This is part of the effort which tries to reduce reclaiming pages in global
LRU in memcg. The per-memcg background reclaim patchset further enhances the
per-cgroup targetting reclaim, which I should have V4 posted shortly.

Try running multiple memory intensive workloads within seperate memcgs. Watch
the counters of soft_steal in memory.stat.

  $ cat /dev/cgroup/A/memory.stat | grep 'soft'
  soft_steal 240000
  soft_scan 240000
  total_soft_steal 240000
  total_soft_scan 240000

This patch:

In the global background reclaim, we do soft reclaim before scanning the
per-zone LRU.  However, the return value is ignored.

We would like to skip shrink_zone() if soft_limit reclaim does enough
work.  Also, we need to make the memory pressure balanced across per-memcg
zones, like the logic vm-core.  This patch is the first step where we
start with counting the nr_scanned and nr_reclaimed from soft_limit
reclaim into the global scan_control.

f780bdb7c1 cgroups: add per-thread subsystem callbacks
Add cgroup subsystem callbacks for per-thread attachment in atomic contexts

Add can_attach_task(), pre_attach(), and attach_task() as new callbacks
for cgroups's subsystem interface.  Unlike can_attach and attach, these
are for per-thread operations, to be called potentially many times when
attaching an entire threadgroup.

Also, the old "bool threadgroup" interface is removed, as replaced by
this.  All subsystems are modified for the new interface - of note is
cpuset, which requires from/to nodemasks for attach to be globally scoped
(though per-cpuset would work too) to persist from its pre_attach to
attach_task and attach.

This is a pre-patch for cgroup-procs-writable.patch.

a2c8990aed memsw: remove noswapaccount kernel parameter
The noswapaccount parameter has been deprecated since 2.6.38 without any
complaints from users so we can remove it.  swapaccount=0|1 can be used
instead.

As we are removing the parameter we can also clean up swapaccount because
it doesn't have to accept an empty string anymore (to match noswapaccount)
and so we can push = into __setup macro rather than checking "=1" resp.
"=0" strings

5a6475a4e1 memcg: fix leak on wrong LRU with FUSE
fs/fuse/dev.c::fuse_try_move_page() does

   (1) remove a page by ->steal()
   (2) re-add the page to page cache
   (3) link the page to LRU if it was not on LRU at (1)

This implies the page is _on_ LRU when it's added to radix-tree.  So, the
page is added to memory cgroup while it's on LRU.  because LRU is lazy and
no one flushs it.

This is the same behavior as SwapCache and needs special care as
 - remove page from LRU before overwrite pc->mem_cgroup.
 - add page to LRU after overwrite pc->mem_cgroup.

And we need to taking care of pagevec.

If PageLRU(page) is set before we add PCG_USED bit, the page will not be
added to memcg's LRU (in short period).  So, regardlress of PageLRU(page)
value before commit_charge(), we need to check PageLRU(page) after
commit_charge().

7a159cc9d7 memcg: use native word page statistics counters
The statistic counters are in units of pages, there is no reason to make
them 64-bit wide on 32-bit machines.

Make them native words.  Since they are signed, this leaves 31 bit on
32-bit machines, which can represent roughly 8TB assuming a page size of
4k.

e9f8974f2f memcg: break out event counters from other stats
For increasing and decreasing per-cpu cgroup usage counters it makes sense
to use signed types, as single per-cpu values might go negative during
updates.  But this is not the case for only-ever-increasing event
counters.

All the counters have been signed 64-bit so far, which was enough to count
events even with the sign bit wasted.

This patch:
- divides s64 counters into signed usage counters and unsigned
  monotonically increasing event counters.
- converts unsigned event counters into 'unsigned long' rather than
  'u64'.  This matches the type used by the /proc/vmstat event counters.

The next patch narrows the signed usage counters type (on 32-bit CPUs,
that is).
